Truck fuel cell

Hydrogen trucks

Hydrogen fuel cells to decarbonize freight transport.

At Symbio, we offer fuel cells for trucks, from mid-range through to heavy-duty vehicles, including EMS (European Modular System for road freight transport) vehicles, allowing flexible and profitable operations.

Supporting manufacturers in the large-scale deployment of truck fuel cells

We design, develop and industrialize zero-emission fuel cells and systems for powerful hydrogen trucks. Our systems meet the challenges faced by fleet managers, with an optimized total cost of ownership (TCO) and preserved driver comfort. 

Our truck fuel cell solutions combine the advantages of electric powertrain with those of diesel or NGV! 

Hydrogen fuel cell trucks key figures:

  • No noise nuisance.
  • Zero CO2 emissions at use.
  • Long  range up to 1 000 km without refilling, depending on the application.
  • Operational flexibility and optimized uptime with fast refuelling (max. 15 minutes).
  • Performance and range maintained regardless of the weather conditions ( from -30°C to 50°C).
  • No impact on payload thanks to higher on-board energy density.

Our value proposition for hydrogen-powered trucks

POWER AND EFFICIENCY: with a total system efficiency of 53% for a long-haul truck travelling at 90 km/h on the highway, our systems are among the most hydrogen-efficient on the market.

COMPACTNESS: our StackPack™ 150 and StackPack™ 300 can be integrated into existing vehicle engine bay featuring similar intrefaces as for an IC engine. The low height of the stacks and the flexibility of the system architecture also enable installation in the vehicle wheelbase, in place of fuel tanks.

COOLING: thanks to controlled heat release and a high operating temperature (85°C), cooling requirements are 15% lower than the market average.  

MONITORING: optimized operation and predictive maintenance thanks to direct access to fuel cell data.
